A beautiful and infinitely refillable fineliner, writing, and brush pen, including 9 professional artist's tips and 2 writing tips.
Too many pens and their refills are disposable by design. Similar to printer ink cartridges, pen companies want you to buy into their format so they can keep selling you replacement pens or refills repeatedly. It's good for their business, but it's bad for the planet and stifles creativity.
"It is brilliant: Beautiful, the perfect weight, a range of nibs, satiny ink. The drawing (almost) does itself."
David Downton
As a product designer and craftsman who loves using a variety of pens to create illustrations and designs, I had this very problem! Pens would sit in my drawer for years, either patiently waiting for that very specific refill, or I was just loath to dispose of an otherwise fully functional pen that had run out of ink.
Having designed and handmade calligraphy and fountain pens for creative folks across the world full-time for over 6 years, I decided it was time to apply my knowledge to the pen I used most of all and one of the biggest culprits when it came to its disposable nature: the fineliner.

GOOD TO KNOW
Full FAQs and a video guide to getting started with your Lumos can be found here.
What ink can I use?
The Lumos is compatible with dye-based Fountain Pen Inks, so long as they don’t contain particles (such as shimmer inks) or binders (like acrylic or shellac).
Exception to the rule? We sell a splendid waterproof pigment ink (our own No.60 Fountain Pen Waterproof in Pigment Black). Or, if you want to splash out, Sailor Kiwa-Guro ink is a great option too.
What are the differences between the Duo and the Single Lumos?
The Single Lumos has one tip and one ink reservoir, which is double the Duo's reservoir size.
The Duo Lumos allows you to have two different pens in one body, allowing you to easily change between nibs and ink colours on either side.
Can I purchase replacement tips and reservoirs for my Lumos?
